I was having my machine work done and the shop was just asking what all i was putting in it,

They were talking about I may want to run a little loose on the bearings, not too much, but a little play.

They told me I might want to ask and see what others have done.

I did not cut my crank, I had it balanced and micropolished(Journals are pefect) The crank had 197K miles when pulled.(was not knocking either btw)

So Question is, Do you think I should go back with the stock color since its been micropolished, and had miles, and achieve a little play without knocking.

I dont like the idea of going with a different color, but I figured since this has work been done, I dont need to.. That Ill achieve that tiny bit of play with what bearings it calls for.

Furthermore, This motor is gonna be ran N/A for a few months, untill after breakin, and When I purchase the parts to install...

Any comments?

 

My only suggestion is that you is that you should measure the bearing oil clearances instead of guessing.
